Update Pack 1

2011.07.05
 MESA and nVidia/ATI drivers

If you are using a binary nVidia/ATI driver, be careful when upgrading MESA packages. If the update requires the removal of your driver, ignore it for now and wait for Update Pack 2 to update MESA. In particular, be cautious with the following package updates:

libgl1-mesa-dri
libgl1-mesa-glx
xserver-xorg-core
 Gnome 3

Gnome 3 started to replace Gnome 2 in Debian Testing. This results in some applications not following your chosen GTK theme and looking ugly. In Update Pack 1, if you want to avoid upgrading these applications ignore updates for the following packages:

gnome-terminal
gnome-terminal-data
gnome-themes-standard
gnome-system-monitor
 Firefox

After updating Firefox, if some of your add-ons are not working anymore or if you are missing the Linux Mint search enhancements (which provide links to additional search types above the Google results), you need to clean your Firefox configuration. Make a backup of your bookmarks, close Firefox, and in a terminal type:

mv ~/.mozilla/firefox ~/.firefox-backup

 Flash

If Flash doesn't work anymore. Simply open a terminal and type:

sudo update-alternatives --auto libflashplayer.so

 Kexec

If you're experiencing problems rebooting your computer, remove the package "kexec-tools".
